I was thinking about what to write about tonight when the sleep bug hit me again. I started to ‘fuzz out’ unable to really get a real sense of what I was doing; unable to hold a lasting thread of consciousness. That has been happening more and more and is a core contributor to the recent slate of bad blogs. Excuses, I know. About as useful as something unspeakable placed on your elbow. Still, there is a bit of truth to doing bad work when you’re in a bad headspace.
So for me that comes down to using uncontrolled substances. I abuse caffeine regularly. My ‘night cup’ is what allows me to stay aware enough to get through ten minutes of writing each night. Nine minutes into this blog ad I still haven’t found a point.
Maybe that is the point. We all know by now that I cannot do this when I am tired.
